Chemistry 109 - Chemistry in the Community (4 units)

Prerequisite: None

The non-science major will study practical applications of chemistry and the chemical principles behind them including: the scientific method, atomic structure, molecular models, and chemical reactions. Environmental and community issues will be the focus of student centered laboratories, discussions and field trips. Group work and computer activities will be used in this cooperative learning environment (48 lecture hours and 48 lab hours).

Chemistry 219H - Honors General Chemistry (5 Units)

Prerequisite: Mathematics 080 or 081 and Chemistry 209 or Mathematics 080 or 081 and a passing score on current chemistry placement test. All courses must be completed with a grade of C or better. 3.0 cumulative GPA. Transcripts required to verify prerequisite.

Chemistry 259 - Organic Chemistry II (5 Units)

Prerequisite: Chemistry 249 with a grade of C or better.

Continuation of Chemistry 249. Includes units on aromatics, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines, and classes of biologically important compounds. More complex synthetic routes are explored. Lab work includes multi-step syntheses. Reaction mechanisms and use of spectroscopic techniques continue to be emphasized. (48 lecture hours and 96 lab hours)
